"The pursuit of Happiness"

Jeanne Steely Laitner

From the July 1995 issue of The Christian Science Journal

' We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. " On July 4, 1776, in these and other stirring words from the Declaration of Independence, the thirteen American Colonies declared their independence from England.
